Hi, I've followed README instructions to use this tool for my project, getting the following errors. Using Angular16 with TS. Attached package.json and package-lock.json for reference.

Hello @Val-HeatEng,

It looks like you installed the fresh release of the library with Angular 17 support :) For Angular 16 you should use the version 8.3.0.

Ah thank you for getting back so quickly, that totally solved it. I also reached for a fork that worked: @colsen1991/ngx-translate-extract and that worked out of the box, but I'm guessing this is the primary repo that is best maintained? I can confirm that version 8.3.0 solves the problem, closing issue
